Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter, sugar, and flour until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the lemon juice. Pour the mixture into the pie shell.

Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until filling is set and browned. Cool on wire rack.

Delicious pie! I followed the recipe exactly. We love lemons and this is the perfect blend of sweet and tart. "3 lemons" is 1/2 cup of juice--you'll get a bit more if you microwave the lemons for about 15 seconds before squeezing. If you squeeze them too hard or press to extract the juice, you might get some bitterness from the pith. A hand-held wooden reamer is best, IMHO. I served it after it had cooled (just room temp) and topped with a dollop of Cool Whip and a strawberry. YUM!

I was initially excited about this recipe-- but really disappointed with the results. We really like lemon - but this was so lemony it bordered on bitter. I think a precise measurement on lemon juice would be better than "3 lemons" -- I regret the waste of good ingredients!
